Mind Your Own Business

Good Morning everyone well . . . . Today’s topic is about minding your own business. We all have the tendencies of wanting to know what is going on with people we know especially if it some type of big issue. Sometimes we have to realize that people keep us out of certain things for a reason. Us as human beings love to be curious and always want to be in the “loop” of what’s going on. Why do people feel that they need to be told about EVERYTHING that is going on in your life?

Some people feel that they need to be told about EVERYTHING because they feel that they thought they are part of your life and feel as though if they tell you everything you should be able to tell them everything as well. That’s really what it boils down to. They were able to trust you with information so they hope in turn you can do the same. The keyword here is “TRUST” you cannot trust everyone with information pertaining to certain things. There are those who you may consider your best friends but they still blabb your information to the world. Then there are those who you aren’t really cool with that won’t tell a soul. This is where you decided who to share your business with and why you want to share it with them.

Some people as your friends like to be told about some of your business especially if you are going through something. For example, if one of my female friends is going through something with a dude and informs me about it, I expect her to continue telling me things so I can support her through the whole situation. (Such as when he hits you up, what does he say, what you say back to him etc.) I really don’t want you to just tell me one day just because you want to tell someone and then you don’t tell me anything and I catch you crying in a corner at the club because he sent you a random text about you being worth nothing to no one. I would feel some type of way because I could have done more but I didn’t.

Minding your own business refers to a lot of things but sometimes as a friend you have the right to ask those random questions. (“Oh you are going on a date?” “With who?” “Who was that person you where talking to for 2 hours?” “ You and bob chilled the other day?why?”)

In conclusion let's sum up the four main words of this blog:

Mind- the mind is a terrible thing to waste. Don't waste time and efforts with my life and concerns if you're not allowed into the circle of trust. If you're not paying my bills or having sex with me, let your mind wander somewhere else until I decide to reel you in.

Your-not mine, not his, hers, ours, or theirs-the owness comes up on YOU and you alone.

Own- what's possessed and propertied by you

Business- has many definitions, especially when it comes to personal lives and what's important to us.

It's important to make sure that life's actions are appropriate for us to deal with and share for the good and the bad. If you've got a rat, snitch, or an untrustworthy person in the circle you created, get them out before the bubonic plague known as your business starts spreading to areas you don't want.
